The world's smallest, fastest, most reliable ​mechanical switch.

Headquartered in Irvine, California, Menlo Micro is reimagining one of the most fundamental building blocks of electronic systems – the electronic switch. The company’s Digital-Micro-Switch platform is a game changer for those who design electronic systems, serving multiple industries including next generation 5G mobile networks, industrial IoT markets, battery management, home-automation, electronic vehicles and medical instrumentation. ​

Reinventing the Electronic Switch

Menlo Micro was born in the research labs of General Electric, and is backed by GE Ventures, along with strategic investments from Corning, Microsemi and Paladin Capital Group.

​GE invested over 12 years into a game-changing new switch technology that improves upon one of the most fundamental building blocks of electronic systems - the mechanical relay.

​Menlo Micro is bringing this unique solution, a micro-mechanical relay that can handle thousands of volts and tens of amps of current, to emerging Power IoT applications and is also developing RF/microwave solutions to address the demands of next-generation 5G communications networks.
